New in Spice Cloud: Persisted Metrics!
View complete monitoring history after restarts, ensuring no gaps in visibility.
Spice Cloud customers will automatically upgrade to v1.10 on deployment, while Spice.ai Enterprise customers can consume the Enterprise v1.9.0 image from the Spice AWS Marketplace listing.
What’s New in v1.10
Caching Acceleration Mode
Spice's new caching acceleration mode provides stale-while-revalidate (SWR) behavior for accelerations with background refreshes, enabling file-persisted caching using Cayenne, DuckDB, or SQLite.
Learn more about getting started with caching accelerator in in the acceleration docs.
DynamoDB Streams Support (Preview)
The DynamoDB connector now integrates with DynamoDB Streams, enabling real-time change-data-capture (CDC) for DynamoDB with automatic table bootstrapping and acceleration snapshots support.
Learn more about using DynamoDB Streams in the docs.
S3 Data Connector Improvements
The S3 data connector now supports location-based predicate pruning - dramatically reducing data scanned by pushing down location filter predicates to S3 listing operations. And, AWS S3 Tables now have full read/write capability in Spice!
Learn more in the S3 data connector docs.
TinyLFU Cache Eviction Policy
TinyLFU is now available for the SQL results cache! TinyLFU is a probabilistic cache admission policy that maintains higher hit rates than LRU (Least Recently Used) while keeping memory usage predictable, making it ideal for workloads with uneven query patterns
Learn more in the caching docs.
Additional Updates
- Search optimizations for faster full-text-search (FTS) queries, reduced vector index overhead, and better limit pushdown.
- Security hardening including stronger identifier handling, expanded token redaction, and safe archive extraction.
- Developer experience updates including new health probe latency metrics and REPL history improvements.
